Las Vegas Public Works Director Richard P. Sauer says private engineering firms are not the solution for cost reductions in Regional Streets and Highways Commission projects. He argues consulting firms would raise costs, lack local efficiency, and require city oversight, citing past issues with private design work and the need for thorough review.

Keith Calls Local Jail Inadequate
Sam Keith, Republican candidate for County Commissioner in the Las Vegas area, says Clark County jail facilities are inadequate and poorly located. He urges a new modern jail in an outlying district, opposes adding three floors to the courthouse, and argues funds should go to a dedicated complex rather than expanding the old site. He calls the current setup an obsolete facility and says the public display of prisoners harms the community image.
